Thanks for your tutorial. I have just worked through and seen it working for myself.

One thing puzzles me a little bit, though.

The ping by ip address looks OK. But the ping by service name is pinging a localhost address, specifically 127.0.53.53, regardless of service name and the ping times are suspiciously shorter than for the bridge. I see the same on your video. Mine is against: “Docker version 1.8.0-dev, build 8c7cd78, experimental”

Am I right and that service name is not being resolved to the right IP address?
